Depolarizing Ourselves – Rochester | RCTC
RESERVE A SPOT *Tickets are free. Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket. Donations help support Braver Angels, 501(c)3.
A free in-person session to become more aware of your “inner polarizer” and to learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule.
Polarization is fueled by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens. When Braver Angels addresses “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are addressing how we regard and talk about large groups of people — people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle.
Goals
In this 1.5 hour session participants will learn:
-
How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
-
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population
Who Can Attend?
Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
